through 2018, then the State will forgive the loan in its entirety. However, if a transfer or conveyance of the property
occurs prior to 2018 that results in the property no longer being used as an emergency shelter or transitional housing,
the State will terminate the loan, and the County must immediately repay all outstanding principal and accrued
interest. No additional County funds are required.
BACKGROUND:
On January 20, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved the Standard Agreement #28-781-1 with the State of
California Department of Housing and Community Development, for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30,
2010, for the Emergency Housing Assistance Program to support the conversion of 4639 Pacheco Blvd. in Martinez
(former site of Discovery House) for Capital Development Allocation to develop a transitional housing program for
the homeless individuals in recovery.
Funding from this State program was to be used to convert 4639 Pacheco Blvd. in Martinez (former site of Discovery
House) into a facility that will be used as a transitional house for homeless individuals who recently graduated from
residential and/or outpatient drug treatment. Funding from the State will cover the cost of converting the facility for
fiscal years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. After the facility is converted, the County is required to operate the facility as
a transitional house for the next seven (7) years. Funding for the facility’s operation is available through other
Emergency Housing Assistance Program funds from the State. If the County operates the facility as a transitional
house through 2018, the State will forgive the loan in its entirety. However, if a transfer or conveyance of the
property occurs prior to the end of the loan term that results in the property no longer being used as an emergency
shelter or transitional housing, the State will terminate the loan, and the County must immediately repay all
outstanding principal and accrued interest.
Approval of this Standard (Amendment) Agreement #28-781-2 will make technical adjustments to the Agreement,
allowing continuous funding for the conversion of this facility, which will, in turn, provide homeless individuals with
housing, goal-oriented counseling, and recovery support through May 14, 2012, including continuing to indemnify
and hold harmless the State from any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.
